I’m told writers fall into two categories – plotters and pantsers. Plotters are those who know exactly where their story is going and have it all mapped out before they begin. Pantsers are the ones who plunge straight in and write ‘by the seat of their pants’. By nature I’m a pantser. I’m allergic to spreadsheets, I detest timelines and never in a million years would I compile a chart with post-it notes summarising each scene. For me the joy of writing is all about discovery.
